Some of you may know this, but I didn't and thus I'll share what I
learned.
The rpmfusion nvidia driver needs a special xorg.conf file. It might
not operate properly with a file that previously operated properly with
say a livna sourced driver.
Specifically, it needs this to be present:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Right now I am unsure if the xorg or nvidia xorg.conf configuration
tools will put both these lines in the xorg.conf file. I doubt they do,
actually.

I hope this helps someone.
